-Recipients of a free piano through the Magic Music Foundation

-Recipients of a free piano through the Magic Music Foundation

-Recipients of a free piano and free music lessons through the Magic Music Foundation

"It was truly incredible to receive a piano from Magic Music. I was so amazed and happy to see that Magic Music went to such extra lengths to see that I got the piano. Once it was decided, it took less than 24 hours to have the piano sitting in my apartment. The movers were quick and friendly. I am so grateful for this piano, because I have not had a piano in my home for over 10 years, it is incredible to have such a generous gift. Magic Music is a superb foundation. Magic Music has given me the gift to play piano again."

- Recipient of a free piano through the Magic Music Foundation

"Last week I was so amazingly surprised to see the beautiful piano you arranged for me to have. Music has always been something very special to me, especially piano. It has always played a big role in my life. Recently, I have put a lot of time and effort into learning how to play piano beautifully. I hope one day to not just be able to play by ear (which is what I naturally do), but to perfect my music reading skills and technique. Your gift allows me to go so much farther towards accomplishing my dream and is something that I appreciate tremendously."
